Hi,

I've just re-read my message and notice that it is extremely aggressive.
I want to apologies for that. When I typed it I had just had a big
argument with someone and it came across in my message to this list.
That was uncalled for and I'm not normally that type of person. So sorry
again.

If I post again I'll make sure to only do it when I am nice and happy :).
